The Prediction of the Depth of Long Rod Penetrating into Semi-Infinite Concrete Targets

Abstract:

Long rod has strong ability of penetrating into targets with high velocity because of the big ratio of L/D. In the process of the penetration, the resistance of target is so big that the deformation of the head of the projectile is severe. There are many factors influence the process, which make it difficult to get analytic solutions. In this paper, we propose a simplified calculation method which considering engineering strain of the head of projectile. And the rigid-plastic model was used to describe the constitutive model of projectiles. The relationship between the engineering strain of the mushroom area and velocity was analyzed, which is exponential. Then, combined with cavity expansion theory, the calculation results about the DOP are in good agreements with the experimental results. At last, there are numerical simulations about the relative experiments, and the results obtained from numerical simulations show the deformation of the projectile and the depth of the penetration, which are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation and experiments.
